Obituary for Ethel Louise Derkach (Hemmons)

Ethel Louise Derkach (Hemmons)
Mrs. Ethel Louise Derkach of Red Deer, Alberta, passed away at Extendicare Michener Hill, Red Deer on Tuesday, January 5, 2016 at the age of 86 years. Ethel was born on May 5, 1929 at Prince Rupert, British Columbia. She loved to travel and one of her most memorable trips was six years ago; when she took her daughter to Australia for a month. She loved it! Ethel had the most beautiful smile and sparkling personality, and anyone that met her loved her. She was kind, considerate and compassionate. Ethel will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Debra Appleby and granddaughter, Stacey Appleby. She will also be sadly missed by her brothers, Ron (Phyllis) Hemmons, Jim (Verna) Hemmons, Glen (Betty) Hemmons, her sisters-in-law, Tillie (Al) Chisholm and Elizabeth Hemmons; as well as numerous nieces and nephews throughout Canada and the United States. Ethel was predeceased by her husband, Richard Derkach in 2005 and a son, Scott Derkach in 2014. At Ethel’s request, no funeral service will be held but Deb and Ethel will be taking a road trip in the spring; and a little bit of Mom will be left in all the places that she loved. The family would like to thank the staff at Michener Extendicare Unit 3200, for their excellent care of mom; especially in the last difficult month. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Ethel’s memory may be directed to a charity of one’s choice.

Arrangements in care of Ashley Paton, Funeral Director at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 – 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040.
